[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The Littles" is a Drunk Elephant sampler that, while not divided into day and night, is a good mix of their products.

I purchased this about a year ago when I was in the same boat as you, wanting to get serious about skincare and upgrade my products. I had previously just used a cleanser day/night, moisturizer, eye cream, and sunscreen in the morning. Sometimes an over the counter retinol (Neutrogena brand). I was 40 and had good skin but figured I should try what was out there.

This led to me using nearly the entire Drunk Elephant line for most of the past year. Sure, my skin looked a bit better, but I got really tired of just having so many products. It felt so high maintenance and not my style.

So a few months back I pared down to a cleanser, drugstore moisturizer, eye cream, sunscreen in the morning, and prescription retinol at night. And you know what? My skin has never looked better. I get more compliments now than I did when using a pricy skin care line. [b]Sunscreen and prescription retinol are really the only skin care items with data to support anti-aging effects.[/b][/quote]
Again, that’s not true. Vitamin C. Copper. Niacin. Q10. There’s a bunch of stuff that works.

PP here. According to my dermatologist, the evidence on the other things you mentioned is less certain, although there are studies suggesting they may be helpful and certainly anecdotal evidence of some benefit. Sunscreen and prescription-strength retinol, however, are the tried and true methods with the most evidence behind them and what she recommends. [/quote]
